Knitters/Crocheters

I know that there are a few of you.
I have a lot of time on my hands, so I'm attempting some new things. I'm actually using patterns now, where before I just knitted whatever came about. Big Grin

I'm beginning to realize that I only have small needles and I'm becoming a yarn snob.

I knitted a hat for my nephew, one for myself (no patterns), a baby-carrier (no pattern), and now I'm going to start working on some fingerless gloves.

Anyone else? Any deals on good yarn, needles, etc.?

You made me imagine a bunch of people knitting Mobii (the plural, don'tcha know) for fun and profit. It also reminds me of Ginny's m00bs.

awesome High Five

I pulled mine apart as it was humungo and I couldn't find a real use for it. I ended up making the 5yo a matching scarf to go with his fuzzy hat. It's all plain yellow yarn in the middle then the fuzzy eyelash around the edges. I'll have to take a pic and post it. I took a pic of the cozy but I am not sure if it got uploaded before it was deleted from the camera.I'll check and see later.

OMG! my gram used to crochet ALL the time--when I was 6, I used to sit down on the couch with her and help her with the yarn--when I was 7--she taught me how to do it.

I only know the basic crochet stiches--but I do still have every needle she gave me.

Smilie

I used to make blankets and clothes and pillows for my strawberry shortcake dolls LOL

I still have some stuff I made--my daughter dresses her babies in them

hahaha-I have to go and get some yarn.
I saw some for 1.00 at the dollar tree 3 or 4 skeins in a plastic bag.

I'm stuck on my son's blanket. SICK. OF. IT. Stress

I am nearly done. Well, I have an entire skein left. I need to lay it on his bed and see how it works. It would probably be fine to finish it now and make it a couch blanket.
